Interesting Points in Bitcoin: ETF Flow vs. Macro Headwinds

แปลอัตโนมัติจากต้นฉบับ · อ่านต้นฉบับ (English)

Over the past few weeks, $BTC seems to have been stuck in a narrow range. It's clear that capital flows from Bitcoin Spot ETFs are still a major factor supporting the price to some extent. However, on the other hand, the overall macroeconomic picture seems to be showing some worrying signs, especially with inflation still higher than target and the Fed's hawkish stance.

What I'm thinking about now is, in the medium to long term, will ETF inflows still be able to overcome macro pressures? Or are we entering a period where institutional players might start to slow down their purchases to wait and see the situation? Does anyone see any particular points of interest regarding on-chain data or macro figures that they think will affect the direction of $BTC in late Q2 or early Q3? I'd like to hear everyone's perspectives.

It's a tough balancing act for sure. The ETF inflows are definitely a powerful tailwind, but those macro headwinds, especially with inflation and the Fed's stance, are not to be underestimated. I wonder how much of the ETF money is truly 'sticky' long-term capital versus more speculative plays that might pull back if things get shakier.

This is a really interesting point. I've been wondering how much longer ETF inflows can actually counteract the broader economic picture, especially with the Fed's stance. Do you think there's a specific threshold where macro factors would definitively outweigh the ETF demand?
